Is it true that in the official series on Harry Potter, non -war and transgender actors will play?

On the network is the news that in the series along the Harry Potter universe from the HBO Max will be a large racial and gender diversity, that is, supposedly the main roles will play non -war and transgender persons there. We checked her truthfulness.

Since mid -January, the media and social networks can see many reports about the unusual requirements for the acting of the series about the Harry Potter's magical world. For example, they write that for the role of Lily Evans, mothers of Harry, they are looking for a “gender-nuclearine, non-bureau or transgender woman”, James Potter, father of Harry, will play a dark-skinned non-bureaan actor of Asian or African origin, and Sirius Black, a godly Harry, can play a dark-skinned representative Gender.

There are similar news on radio sites "Says Moscow", TV channel "360 °", newspapers "News", Lenta.ru, "Culturebial"as well as magazines Glamor And Euromag. In social networks posts Hundreds are collected about casting Likes And reposts. In addition, in most of the mentioned publications, they say that the HBO television company is responsible for the development of the series.

Almost a year ago, January 25, 2021, a magazine The Hollywood Reporter He said that at an early stage of development there is a series on the Harry Potter universe from the Warner Bros studio. According to sources, then the main producers held a number of meetings with potential screenwriters to discuss ideas and understand how to transfer such a large film franchise to a serial format. And then they did not conclude any transactions, and officially no development did not even conduct. “Neither the studio nor the streaming platform are developing a series about Harry Potter,” the representative of the HBO Max and Warner Bros. upset fans.

It is important to add that, according to the publication, the output of the proposed project is planned on the HBO Max Streaming Service, and not on the HBO channel. These are different subsidiaries of WarnerMedia. But over the year, the series was not officially announced, so there are no details of the plot and casting. Perhaps there will play non -warrant and transgender personalities, but it’s too early to talk about this.

But the Tiktok producer Megan McCelli made her announcement-a girl last year announced About the creation of a fan series in the world of Harry Potter. The web series is called the "Saga of Marauders: Sunrise of the Order" (The Marauders Saga: Order Riding). According to McCelli, with the help of this project, she and her colleagues seek to “reflect the variety of fan baskets through her favorite characters, showing people with different skin color, stories about quarks and heroes representing different religions.” She posts all the news about preparation and production in her blog in Tiktok.

So the other day, Tiktokersh spoke about the start of the casting and posted a list of requirements on the platform Backstage. By the way, some details of the plot are also indicated there: the action takes place two years before Little Harry Potter received his famous scar. The main characters are looters who fight on the side of the Order of the Phoenix against the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord Volan de Mort. Later, a tabloid placed a note on the casting Daily Mail, to which many Russian media were referred to, who did not understand the topic and did not recover the information.

And the requirements for the actors of the fan series really indicate that the “gender-nobrous, non-war or transgender man” is 18–25 years old for the role of James Potter. In addition, the actor must be “ethnically ambiguous” or represent people, for example, Asian, African, Latin American or Middle Eastern origin. The role of Lily Evans can get a young "gender-nonsense, non-bureau or transgender woman." About the same applies to other characters, including Sirius Black, Rimus Lupine, Peter Pettigrew and others. And also, according to the announcement of casting, the work of the actors is not paid and open to everyone, the organizers cover only expenses for the road, accommodation and food.

By words Creators, she did not receive permission from the studio Warner Bros. And Joan Rowling, who wrote original books. McCelli hopes that her work falls under the doctrine about the conscientious use of author's content, because her series can be considered a parody due to the inconsistency of the canon of books and films. However, the Daily Mail journalist believes that the copyright holders can still go to court.

They plan to shoot the “Sunrise of Order” in June-July in the north-west of the United States. Where, when and how they release the series, is still unknown. But, most likely, the release will take place on some video platform.
